Ivan Drago wakes up in a Ukraine city building. Drago is the coach
of his boxer son Viktor. Viktor looks determined training. We
then jump to the United States and Rocky is in the locker room
with Creed. A boxing fight begins. From the get go we see that
the boxing scenes are well coreographed, great action.

Creed wants to know how to propose to his girlfriend Bianca
(played well by Tessa Thompson). Creed is nervous. Rocky says to
send a txt hehe. He proposes to her in the hotel room. "Your
the only person I want to send my moments with" says Creed
sentimentally. Back in the Ukraine, Drago's son gets into
a street fight, cool boxing scenes here.

Bianca wants to move to LA which would mean moving away from
Rocky. They think about it. Drago and his son Viktor arrive
in the United States and they visit at the Rocky statue. Drago
looks away with jealousy. Dolph Lundgren is a good actor, I'm
glad he came back for this movie. The character of the menacing
russian boxer Ivan Drago is memorable. Great tense build up.
The soundtrack works well with the visuals through out the
whole movie.

"Some big guy is waiting for you" says the restaurant waitress
to Rocky hehe. It's Drago. Drago says about the restaurant
pictures "there is no pictures of me" hehe. Drago says that
he lost everything after Rocky defeated him. He lost his
country and his wife. Drago wants Rocky's protege Creed to
fight his son Victor. But Rocky wants nothing to do with Drago.
"Drago's son issued a challenge to Creed" says the news.

Creed looks at old footage of his dad Apollo's fight
against Drago. Rocky and Creed have an argument because
Rocky doesn't want him to go through with the fight
(against Drago's son Victor) because Drago is corrupt.
Creed buys an apartment for Bianca. He goes for dinner
at his mother's house (his mother is played by the experienced
Phylicia Rashad).
His mother knows that Bianca is pregnant because she
puts excess salt on the dinner plate and she has
glowing skin hehe.

Creed wants his mother's blessing. She is reluctant to
give her full support as she knows that Rocky isn't
going to train him. Creed accepts Victor Drago's
challenge regardless. We see Victor training, great
scenes here. Good build up. This guy looks huge
and menacing.

It's the day of the fight and Victor measures up
against Creed. Viktor appears taller than Creed and
has more muscle mass. Great soundtrack during the
introduction of the fighters. Modern hip
hop music plays loud, the crowd goes wild. We see
both the fighters faces up close. They're both
nervous. This creates a tense atmosphere. They fight
in a big stadium.

The fighters face each other. Once again we are
reminded that Creed is much smaller than Victor.
It's a miss match. Creed has had to hire a new
coach. Ivan Drago says to his son "Break Him, why
is he still standing".

"I must say the cinematography
and sound design of the fights are exhilerating like most
of the old Rocky movies. Close ups, sprays of sweat
and blood, painfull sounds from the boxers,
it's all there. The body shots in this first
fight are brutal"

Victor wants to finish Creed early on. Victor lands a
brutal blow to the head and Creed goes down in utter
pain. Creed fails to get up in time but Victor is
disqualified because of an illegal blow. Creed goes
to hospital. Rocky visits Creed. Creed is in
emotional pain and feels betrayed because Rocky
wouldn't train him. It's a sad moment. Great acting
by Michael B. Jordan in these scenes. Rocky apologises.

Bianca says that he is going through stress and that
he needs to find peace. Creed resumes training and
finds himself screaming underwater in his pool to
relieve tension. It's a great scene showing his
determination. We cut to a dinner scene with Ivan
Drago's crew. His ex wife shows up (who divorced
him because of the shame of losing to Rocky). Ivan
feels humiliated and you know what this means. Viktor
wants his son to rematch Creed. Ending his reign
and humiliating Rocky in the process. I like Viktor's
back story as it adds to the importance of the fight.

Creed visits his mother and has a discussion about
the possible rematch. Rocky visits Creed. Rocky
finally makes his peace with Creed. Bianca has a
baby girl. The doctors test the baby for hearing
and sight. The baby has problems. Creed is very
stressed, he didn't need this right now.
"Where is creed.. If he doesn't choose
an opponent soon, he'll have to forfeit the title"
says Creed. I like seeing these News updates, it
gets the audience pumped up for the fight.
"I'll beat him... Russia it is" Creed says to his wife.

Rocky trains him. I of course was hanging out for
this training sequence as the previous Rocky training
sequences have been very memorable.
The soundtrack to the training sequence is
awesome. Creed runs fast, he uses a hammer, his punching
speed is lightning. Great sequence! Shades of the
original Rocky series.

The fight is in Russia. "Lets get ready to rumble"
says the announcer. Wow, the camera angles in the fight
are awesome, put that together with great sound effects
and you feel every punch. Close shots and slow motion
are used. Victor is a huge man, Creed is getting
outgunned. Rocky shouts orders. After
copping many hits from Victor, Creed lands one heavy
punch. It's now round 8.

Viktor has a big bruise on his eye. Creed drops Viktor
with two body shots. Then Viktor drops Creed. His is
injured on the ground. "What's your name?" ROCKY says
to him. "Creed" he replies. Victor looks at his dad Ivan
in pain. Victor gets dropped again. But he gets up
again. Creed lands another blow but this time Viktor
stays down. Rocky says "It's your time". They shake hands.
Great moment. Creed wins the fight. In a great moment
Ivan Drago forgives his son and hugs him after his loss.

Creed visits his father's grave, it's a touching moment.
Rocky visits his son who he hasn't spoken to in years.
At the door his son greets him with his grandson, they
welcome him. Creed hugs his daughter. Everyone is at peace.
At the end of this movie there are old boxing images of
Rocky and Apollo, it's cool! You definitely want to
see this Creed series continue.

The suprise stand out for me was Dolph Lundgren. He
has a great commanding presence and he was the coach!
Sylvester Stallone also puts in a decent performance
and his speeches to Creed were memorable.
Michael B. Jordan is really fit and looks like a
real life boxer adding to the authenticity of the
boxing scenes. Florian Munteanu as Viktor Drago
was menacing and a fitting villain. Tessa Thompson
and Phylicia Rashad also contributed some great scenes.
The training sequence was fantastic as always. Enjoy the full
2hrs 10min.
